Hey, I am going to start getting some corals and wanted to get some input on what might be a good beginner coral--I guess hardy would be a good idea.
thanks

lol plus ones. Kenyas are just to dang easy. Also Shrooms are easy as well. sometime zoas can be tricky but for the most part easy as well..
Sun Coral if u wanna feed it all the time since it doesnt depend on lights to live

common mushrooms, zoos, star polyps, xenia stuff like that are supposed to be easy
Xenia is hit or miss. You either can't control it or it doesn't do well in your tank. Most of the time it grows at a rapid pace.
I started with mushrooms and I think they are great for covering up bare spots on your liverock.

Yup. Xenia tends to suddenly melt sometimes.
I second Kenya Tree and its reproductive capabilities.
